Chapter Ten: The Unlucky Father

The next day June 19

I was in the bathtub with my husband, and he was rubbing my back because I was stressing a lot, because of the case and the message from Hobbs. I did not tell him about it because I know he would freak out. I know that because I am freaking out. When we were done bathing, I had gotten a message from my captain. It stood "I know you've worked a lot; I know you have free now. But there is another body, please come to work. If not, then I will get someone to put the file on your desk till Monday". I knew he wanted me to stay home but I could not. I got in my uniform and kissed my husband and left to work.

When I got to the priecint the captain gave me a number to call. It's officer Michaelson. Who's this? I asked. Oh, hi Danny. It's me Liam. Your partner. I lost my phone so. Well anyway, I was the first to the scene. I'm on my way to the station and I will explain everything to you. He said. Dont you ever call me that again Liam Russel. And copy that. I said.

I went through all my cases back and forth, trying to see of I could see it I knew who he was. Listening to all the recordings after Hobbs have called us. No clue whatsoever. I heard a knock on my door, it was Liam who came in. He gave me a file. I opened it, and it was photos from the crime scene. It was a male who had carvings in him. It stood "Just practice to becoming a doctor right." Talk to me, not just sit there. I said. Oh, yeah, sorry Dan. He said. Who is this? I asked. This is John Willard, he is 27. He just became a dad, he studied to become a doctor. Cause of death is loss of blood. His kidney and lungs were removed, his wrists were cut, and the message is carved inn with a scalpel. He had signs of struggle. I haven't talked to his girlfriend or parents yet. Thought you would want to do it. He said. Copy that. And thanks, let's go. And who is his girlfriend and parents? I asked. He was an orphan groving up, he usually stayed over at Druze orphans & charitable org over at 247 W 38th St 207. His girlfriend and him moved into an apartment over at 21405 73rd Ave Okaland garden. He studied over at Mount Siani School of Medicine Traditional and Molecular imaging institute over at 1470 Madison Ave. I would love to help but I have another case to work on. He said. Copy that. Thanks for the help. I said and walked to the cop car. realizing my partner needs the cop car, so I took my personal car. I rarely use it on work because everyone knows it is my car so people think I am working for undercover.

I went to his girlfriends apartment and knocked on the door. I knocked a few times before I heard someone said "Hang on, I'm on my way." Hey, sorry. I'm Alice. Rebecca is inside, you can just come in officer. Alice said. Thanks. Who of you are the girlfriend to John Willard? I asked. It's me. Said Rebecca. Hey, nice to meet you. And congratulations on your new baby. I said. Thanks. Why are you asking about John? Rebecca asked. I'm so sorry to say this but we found him dead earlier today. You will be able to see his body, and somebody will contact you about that. We are working very hard to find the killer. I said. I'm so sorry Rebecca. I'm here for you, I will help out with the baby. Alice said. Thanks. How did he die officer? Rebecca said while trying not to cry. He died of blood loss. But I have one question if that's okay. I said. Yeah okay. Rebecca said. Does he have many friends? I asked. Yes, he know like everyone. Everyone loves him, he hasn't doen anything wrong. He is always behaved and always helps everyone that needs it. Rebecca said. He sounds like a good man, thank you for answering and your time. I said. You're welcome officer. Rebecca said. I'm sorry but i need to go. Again I'm so sorry for your loss. I said. Thanks officer, and if there is anything I can help with just come. Rebecca said. Yes, I will. I said and walked out.

The next place I went to was the School. When I got there, I went to the principal's offie and asked him about John, and he basically said the same thing. I got to know that John was the top off the class, and he could not stop talking about his girlfriend and how she was pregnant. I walked to his classroom and asked some people he always hanged out with, and they said the same thing. I did not feel the need to go to the orphanage he used to go to. I figured it would not help, so I went back to the priecint.

When I got to the station, I just looked at all the cases again, and turned out to be nothing more than I already knew. When I was done on work, I went home and we made dinner together and I got a message on my phone. It stood "Daniel Michaelson I have a gift for you. You Will have to go to the next place. You will know eventually know where you need to be. Not telling yet because you need some time with your two pretty daughters. So for now goodbye". Recieved from unknown caller ID.
